The Conocchia is a funerary monument that stands imposing and majestic on the path of the ancient Via Appia which has undergone various renovations over the centuries, especially during the Bourbon period. With a conical shape that recalls the spindle, the object used to spin, it has eleven cinerary niches where the urns were placed, destined to pass on the memory of illustrious people over time. Flavia Domitilla, the Roman matron nephew of Vespasian who was persecuted by Domitian because she was a Christian, was buried there (it seems).

This bivouac is managed by the CAI Caserta and is located in an area of community interest. There are various paths that can be traveled from here, from Monte Marmolelle to the Temple of Jupiter, and you can even go as far as Casertavecchia.

Casertavecchia (fraction of Caserta) is a medieval village that rises on the slopes of the Tifatini mountains at about 401 meters high and 10 km away in the north-east direction from Caserta. The origins of Casertavecchia are still uncertain, but according to some information extrapolated from a writing by the Benedictine monk Erchemperto, already in the year 861 AD. there was an urban nucleus called "Casahirta" (from the Latin casa meaning village and hirta meaning harsh). The village has undergone various dominations over the course of history.
